description
The previous Romanesque building was demolished in the 1760s because it was dilapidated and replaced by a new building. In 1840 the structure was increased and the tower repaired. At the same time more windows were installed. Franz X. Kunesch from Munich painted the chapel in 1891 and restored the altar . On the east side there is a roof turret with an onion hood .
Furnishing
The interior of the chapel is unadorned. A pair of pillars frames the altarpiece of St. Valentine with a sick child (around 1760). Next to it are the figures of St. Rochus and St. Bartholomew . The altar extension is occupied by two angels and a picture of Mariahilf . On the north inner wall there is a picture of the Nazarenes, child murder in Bethlehem .
